again out of post, but to follow that,
how about try balanced macronutrient ratios? I know Steve wrote about how he doesn't believe in protein targets, but it is a very individual requirement
I know for me as with many others, I feel 100% better when I have adequate protein in my diet, about 80 to 100g of quality protein per day.
(anything under like 60g would usually leave me feeling unsated, and still hungry, and I would tend to overindulge on carby foods. having adequate protein is important, for many people, the body knows when it has proper nutrients, both macronutrients and micronutrients, a big hunger switch is flipped off with proper protein)
it's easy to do it from vegan sources too, like rice protein (like nutribiotic brand) or occasional soy/tofu,
and meal replacements like the Ultimate Meal
about 30g protein per meal.

just something to try, but I know that balancing protein/fat/carb ratios and getting adequate protein was SUPER important for me when phasing my diet to mostly vegetarian.  |
